“ ya an idiot or did’ja hit yer ‘ead fallin’ down ? there’s nothin’ cool ‘bout landin’ !!  leave me out ‘f it, i ain’t gonna do stupid shit wit’ ya ! ”

  ❝ Listen! Hear me out first! You jump from a height that would turn anyone into mush, setting off a feeling of suspense from everyone watching! Then, like the indomitable and fearless protagonist of an action series that has you at the edge of your seat, you pull off the impossible! You even strike a really awesome pose to have it really hit home for everyone else! Isn’t that just the coolest?! ❞

[coolestpaladin]

“ huh, th’ hell ya mean ‘land ‘eroically’ ? OII, YA TRYIN’ TO MESS WIT’ ME AGAIN, YA DAMN BRAT ? I’M ALREADY COOL ! ”

   ❝ No, no! You’re decidedly not cool! Oh, I can reenact that really cool landing for you! Hold on, there should be a cliff nearby! Let me show you that really cool landing! Or do you want to try it with me? ❞

coolestpaladin said: ❝ Bradamante! ❞ Hands behind his back, Charlie leaned down towards the girl seated at her desk. ❝ Congratulations on winning the volleyball tournament! Sorry I wasn’t able to make it back in time… ❞ He sheepishly scratched the side of his face. Why did his academic competition have to not so awesomely overlap with her schedule?! ❝ I hope these can make up for it? ❞ Extending his arms, he presented two items with an apologetic smile: a single rose in one hand and a medium-sized accessory box in the other. Inside the box were matching ivory-colored hair ties, both adorned with a blue topaz gem. It was simple in design but durable, meant for daily use.

     “It’s alright, I know you tried your best-!” Pushing herself away from the work she’d been finishing up in order to go see him (and amused he’d managed to beat her to it) she half-turns in her chair. Peering up at him, she’s not prepared for his proximity, or the fact that he’s offering her gifts- as if he actually has something to make up for. Eyes owl-wide, she bounces her eyes from the gifts to Charle’s face, feeling the stinging beginning in her nose before she can help herself.            He’s just so sweet–!           “Char-le,” she begins in a slight whine, fingers furling around the rose first, bringing it close and pressing her nose into it to hide how it’s reddeding. “You didn’t have to get me anything…!” Not that she isn’t grateful, but she had known their schedules might conflict when it came closer to the end of the season, especially with how loaded his schedule tended to be. Even with all the sports she was part of, they couldn’t hold a candle to all of Charle’s academic responsibilities. Which, in her opinion, made it all the sweeter how distraught he seemed over not being able to make it to her game.            Turning back to set the rose gingerly on her desk, she reminds herself to find a vase for it later, and then reaches for the other gift, blinking away the overwhelmed glaze of affection from her eyes. Her nose is still a bit pink, but she’s not in danger of being overwhelmed again- not just yet, in any case. She examines the ties, expression fond, and looks up at him, moving the ties to one hand while the other brushes over his cheek. Cupping her palm against it gently, she leans up the scant few inches she needs to press her lips to his, gentle and sweet.            When she pulls back, she’s pink-cheeked and beaming, already moving to undo one of her pigtails to re-do it with her new gift. 

          “They’re so pretty, Charle, I love them…! I’m going to wear them all the time, I promise…!”

✧ MASTER ✧

Such a good boy.

“You’re the coolest.”

   !!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Congratulations, Master! Your coolest Saber has become about ten megawatts brighter!

[coolestpaladin]

✧ NOT VERY AWESOME ✧ 

“ what, who th’ hell cares ‘bout that —  ”   wait, did he just say hijikata …  “ oi, yer jus makin’ fun ‘f me now, huh ? TALKIN’ ‘BOUT THAT BASTARD AN’ SAYIN’ STUPID SHIT ! OIII, WHADDYA MEAN HE’S MORE AWESOME ? ”

   ❝ No, of course not! How can I be making fun of you when I’m saying it like it is? Have you seen how cool Monsieur Hijikata’s coat is? He can wear it like a cape and still look awesome in battle! ❞ Charlie was practically glowing, and he cheerfully added: ❝ Ah, he’s like one of those heroes you’ll see on TV shows! But you, on the other hand... ❞ ...looked like one of those ruffians hanging around in dark alleys.

[coolestpaladin]

✧ MASTER ✧

“You’re all average, how about that?”

   ❝ M-Master?! ❞ But wasn’t he the coolest? The awesomest?! Master, hello?!

[coolestpaladin]

✧ NOT VERY AWESOME ✧

“ haah, who th’ hell yer callin’ not awesome ?  ”   how dare this little saber punk even approach with a blasphemous conclusion. he was the awesomest, of course !!   “ my skills are superior, even t’ yers — i am a sword prodigy, ya damned idiot !! are ya lookin’ t’die ? ”

   ❝ ...monsieur, you’re just proving my point right now? I never said anything about your sword skills! ❞ Yet here Izou was, making threats on his life and calling him an idiot! ❝ I was talking about, uhh... how you look? ❞ Charlie took another look at the man before him for good measure. ❝ Hmm, Monsieur Hijikata really is more awesome... ❞

[coolestpaladin]

@hitokiller​ // ily eli

   ❝ Whoooa! You are...! ❞ Charlie looked Izou up and down. He was deep in thought for a full minute or two before nodding. ❝ ...decisively not awesome at all! ❞

[coolestpaladin]

@ecaradis said: *lifts him up like simba. look at her son. disregard the fact he is no longer a small child.*

   ❝ M-Maman --- !! ❞ 

   Flustered, Charlie flailed his arms and legs on reflex, yet the hold that his mother had on him was unaffected. Somehow, even though he had already grown past his adolescent years, he felt the same way as he used to many years ago. A difficult-to-describe feeling of safety and comfort spread from her warm touch. Awkward as this position was, a mother’s hands were warm and didn’t seek to harm. Underneath a young man’s embarrassment was a child’s attachment, and Charlie no longer struggled after a few flails. ( Although, it wasn’t likely that he would be able to free himself anyway. After all, his mother just picked him up like he was a bag of feathers! )

   Clearing his throat, he secretly felt relief that, at least for now, there was no one within the vicinity. ❝ Maman... Don’t you, uhh... think I’m a little too old for this now...? ❞

[coolestpaladin]

✧ MASTER! ✧ 

SHINE BRIGHT LIKE THE COOLEST SABER!

   The holy light that shall never fade --- !!

[coolestpaladin]

@tyyrant said: "Charlemagne! Long time no see!"

   ... hmm? That vivid rose-colored gown, golden hair, shining emerald eyes! That distinct charm and elegant poise which could only belong to one of the most famous Roman emperors in history! He would recognize the Emperor of Roses anywhere, even from afar!

   ❝ Ohhh --- ?! Is that you, Nero-senpai?! You’re just as awesome as the last time I saw you! No, wait, I think you look even more vibrant than before! Did you change the fabric of your dress? Is it the hair? ❞ Or perhaps, it had simply been too long since he had last seen her, and he was overjoyed to reunite with a familiar face!

[vyragosa]

“You nobles, you sons of my leading men, soft and dandified, trusting in your birth and your wealth, paying no attention to my command and your advancement, you neglected the pursuit of learning and indulged yourselves in the sport of pleasure and idleness and foolish pastimes. By the King of the heavens I think nothing of your nobility and your beauty. Others can admire you. Know this without any doubt; unless you rapidly make up for your idleness by eager effort, you will never receive any benefit from Charlemagne.“

[coolestpaladin]

@allumais​ said: “Charle..." Bradamante leans her chin on her hands, peering out the window, though she glances at him from the corner of her eye. "I was thinking... do you want to do something on the fourteenth next month?" She says it casually, almost as if she doesn't mind whatever the answer is. "If you're not doing something, I mean."

   He looked up upon hearing that nickname --- the one used only by the girl not too far away, within arm’s reach. Compared to the textbook opened in his lap, even if it was important to his studies, it was much easier for Bradamante to capture his attention. Always, no matter where, he would find her to be the brightest, and his eyes would follow even without his own awareness. ❝ Mm? The fourteenth? ❞ Furrowing his brows, he tried to remember what was special about that day. If memory served, it was... La Saint-Valentin?

   Thud!

   As Charlie sat up in shock, the book slid off of his lap and onto the ground, narrowly missing his foot. This was completely left field! But still, he leaned forward eagerly ---

   ❝ I’m free anytime! ❞ Wait, wait; backtrack for a moment there, Charlie. As much as he would like to spend every hour of the day with Bradamante, there were still responsibilities on his plate that he couldn’t just throw out the window. Clearing his throat, he quickly amended his statement. ❝ I mean --- I’m definitely free anytime on the fourteenth! What do you want to do? We can do anything you want! ❞ Or should he be the one to plan everything out? Uh, actually, why was she asking? Were they just hanging out as friends? Was this a --- d...date?

[coolestpaladin]

"Charles."

Edmond Dantès // @enferne​–– uh oh papa caught me :’(

If only he had left ten seconds sooner, he just might have managed to slip out the door unnoticed. Perhaps it was wishful thinking, considering how astute his father could be––and how he probably overlooked a porcelain shard somewhere. Holding the trash bag close against him, hoping that the pieces of the vase wouldn’t make too much noise, he wondered what he should write in his will. Should he leave something for Bradamante? Astolfo? Maybe even Roland?

No, no! It’s okay, Charlie! Just turn around slowly, give a little wave, and act casual! Big smile, as always! Don’t look guilty!

❝ Ha...ha... Hi, Papa! ❞ Yes, very casual. No sweat drops here! A ‘natural’ smile, too!
